As building UIs in SAP Cloud Platform (Side-by-Side Extensibility) offers more possibilities than UI Adaptation within S/4HANA Cloud (In-App-Extensibility), this tutorial shows you roughly how to build an UI based on a S/4HANA Cloud Custom Business Object’s OData service in Web IDE and how to get it to the S/4HANA Cloud system.
Step 1: Create UI project from template in SAP Web IDE
In your SAP Cloud Platform Subaccount go to Services, search for SAP Web IDE and select it.
Click Go to Service to open SAP Web IDE.
Select New Project from Template to start wizard for UI project creation.
If you don’t see this welcome page then follow the alternative way:
File > New > Project from Template
Select the List Report Application template and click Next to create a new UI of this type.
Enter basic information for the project, like
Bonusplan
as name and title.
Click Next.
To add a data connection click Service Catalog and set the destination
SAP_DEV_SYSTEM
which you have previously created on your SAP Cloud Platform. Choose
YY1_BONUSPLAN_CDS
as service and click Next.
Choose all annotations in this view and move on with Next.
Customize the template by selecting
YY1_BONUSPLAN
as OData collection and click Finish.

webapp
folder and
manifest.json
file, and make sure to be in descriptor mode of the editor.
Then go to navigation

Step 3: Edit UI in SAPUI5 Visual Editor
Open the SAPUI5 Visual Editor for your project
Bonusplan
via context menu.
Switch via Edit button to edit mode.
Click the column header area for the “Validity Start Date” column to mark it. On the right the marked control’s properties will appear. You can see that you marked the whole column and not only the header cell’s text, if the control property area has the heading “Column” instead of “Text”. Scroll down in the column’s properties to “Visibility” and set it to
false
.
Make the “Validity End Date” column invisible as well.
Save your changes with CTRL+S.

Step 4: Test UI
Although the Preview in SAPUI5 Editor already gives you an idea on how the UI will look and behave like a test in an own browser window is started this way.
Having just chosen a file of your project in the navigation tree or editor, click the play button to run your application in the test environment of SAP Web IDE.
Now you get the UI previewed in an own browser window. It has functionality already. For example by pressing the Go button, you’ll get the list of
Bonusplans
from your S/4HANA Cloud system.

and deploy it to your S/4HANA Cloud system via context menu Deploy > Deploy to SAPUI5 ABAP Repository.

Give an application name and description, click Next and Finish.
